Experience makes a difference!
The experienced agent knows how to avoid the unseen problems that
can easily ruin any business trip or vacation. This experience brings
unmeasurable value to any travel experience. Additionally, the experienced
agent "shops" for you, and does not just sell to you from
a supplied "menu" of services.
Specialization / Niche Market expertise!
Many Home Based Travel Agents have a special niche market that they
are experts in. A consumer looking for a 3 week expedition to Nepal
would much rather deal with an expert on that destination than a call
center order-taker. Our database allows agents to list up to 10 areas
of expertise. When a consumer does a search, and requests specific
"areas of expertise"
"Real" Travel Agents. These are not "call centers",
staffed with order-takers fresh out of a 2 week company sales training
course, as most major internet travel agencies are, where you may
make your reservation with one salesperson and be serviced by any
one or more of the other hundreds of salespeople in the center! These
are independent, experienced Home Based Travel Agents across the USA,
who pride themselves on the ability to provide great service and great
prices!
* Independent agents enjoy their
work more and provide better service! Home Based Travel Agents
are the boss! They have a sincere, vested interest in your travel
experience. And they live at the office - literally - every agent
listed is home-based! Can any successful Home Based Travel
Agent truly say they were happier, or more profitable in a retail
office environment?
* Average 8 YEARS experience for Home Based Travel Agents vs. 5 MONTHS
for the salespeople at call centers! These are EXPERIENCED agents.
Most call centers are staffed with order-takers put through a 1-2
week sales course.
